A selection of some sofas

The first time I set my eyes on a Chesterfield sofa photo, I thought I have found my dream sofa. Just like laying on a mattress is a must to choose one, I sat on the first Chesterfield sofa I found in a furniture shop. Unfortunately, the seat is too deep for me, or rather, my legs are too short to sit comfortably on the sofa.

Hence the search for a perfect sofa continues.

Some designs I like:
I guess you could see from the above collection that I like buttoned back and cushioned base. My top favourite should be the Poeten chair, simple and modern looking, seriously, it doesn't look like a 1941 design.

In the mean time, I am searching in the local furniture shop to have a try of the Poeten seat.

Coffee or Tea. 3 Jan 11

For some reason, black coffee always goes better with traditional chinese cakes like Ang Ku Kueh. Literary, Ang Ku Kueh means 'red tortise cake', the name comes from its shape which is like a tortise shell and the cake is usually in red. The traditional snack is filled with green bean paste or ground peanut, while the above I have for tea break today is with yam filling.
